Following the google doc, there is a easy way :

override fun onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus: Boolean) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus)
if (hasFocus) hideSystemUI() }


private fun hideSystemUI() {
// Enables regular immersive mode.
// For "lean back" mode, remove SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE.
// Or for "sticky immersive," replace it with SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY
window.decorView.systemUiVisibility = (View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE
        // Set the content to appear under the system bars so that the
        // content doesn't resize when the system bars hide and show.
        or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
        or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
        or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
        // Hide the nav bar and status bar
        or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
        or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN)      }


// Shows the system bars by removing all the flags
// except for the ones that make the content appear under the system bars.
private fun showSystemUI() {
window.decorView.systemUiVisibility = 
(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
        or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
        or View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN)       }
